汐止陳萬乞古厝

Locations

An old residence completed in 1926 next to a former riverside port in Xizhi. An embankment constructed over subsequent decades raised the ground level so the first floor (and entrance) are now hidden below ground. On the left side of the old residence is another owned by Chen Jin (陳金).

A closer look at the entrance to the former home of Chen Wanqi, such as it is. The construction of the embankment displaced ground level by more than a meter.

I am a web application developer, photojournalist, urban explorer, and history enthusiast passionate about the open web and documenting my experiences on this planet. This project was founded in the early 2010s and has evolved into a sort of personal Wikipedia of places that interest me (and often the photographs I’ve taken there). I’m originally from Toronto, Canada, but spend most of my time residing in Taiwan.
